What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

I used to live in Cambria. Great little town.

 

Totally is, We've gone the last 2 4th of July's to escape the madness (fireworks)

 

We just went this weekend as well! The weather was perfect up there.

 

Had XPel XR tint put on today. Windshield, front and back passenger sides.

 

Hey wait, was it your video I watched on doing the install?

 

Maybe

 

Is this mod worth the $60~ bucks.... Lately, I've been finding myself fixing problems I didn't realize I had

I've been enjoying the tech/electronic mods lately.

 

I installed these on my 2018 which is much cheaper. If I were to do it for newer one at $60 I would still do as its so much easy to see the headunit in day time mode while headlights are on on a rainy or snowy day.



The video is needed to get the idea -

Nothing exciting. Just took the Mrs. to (lovely Norristown, Pa.) this morning to get the PA Career Link acct. activated, because their website is not users friendly & the Natashia the B1T(H on the phone there was of NO help! The Dr. my wife worked for retired & she only worked 2 days a week, but she's entitled to her compensation (because she has paid into it).She did not feel comfortable. 1 leaving her BMW parked there(I too agreed %100 just like last week when she went to OCMD Not leaving it parked outside in her sister's Condo's parking lot, yes I dropped he off Sat am & picked her up thos [ast Sat. pm. I work from home so I don't drive like I used to 22+k a year!!) .2 It's not exactly happy town USA!. It actually was not bad at all. The guy couldn't figure out what was wrong because all they had to do was reset the Name or PWord (which we, I had done. )She was happy & Now she owes me!!!

 

I paid $16.10 for mine. Says it doesn't fit my '23 SR5 Premium, but it worked just fine.

Head up, MESO has their Ultimate Map Lights (Dual Color) in stock. I just placed my order.

 

thanks!

I ordered too

 

That is one of my favorite mods! Seems completely useless but when you're 42 and your kid wants light in the back while you're driving to go camping etc or wheeling in to a new camp spot It is invaluable to keep your night vision!!!! Saves the fights as well! Haha.

 

Went up to visit some dear friends over the weekend. Tell me, how could this possibly happen considering where I am parked, in a rural country town, on a road infrequently traveled.



My buddy and me spent 30 mins prying back the sheet metal enough so that I could make the +200 mile drive back home. The plastic bumper almost popped out almost 100%. Not worried about insurance cause new bumpers are being fabricated and the plastic will be trimmed back to just under the factory fogs...

 

Drove the '23 SR5P to work and home.....smiles for miles!

 

Texting or road head would be my guess.

 

Installed my DD SS3 Amber Sport fogs lights. Had to do it twice because I wasn't paying attention to the slots the bracket slide into in the inside.

My auto light sensor arrives tomorrow.

 

Did a 60k mile service... Oil, diffs, txfr case, ATF, rear brakes, got all the rocks out of the skids, greased all joints, fluid top offs, tire rotation, then added meso hatch lights, all time USB charging port. A transmission jack is The ticket for installing steel skids by yourself! Now I'm looking at Waze to run air conditioning to my bird dog in the crate in the back. I might pull from the floor air conditioner all the way to the back of the crate.




Update.... Found some skid plate rashes and slider rashes that I know I didn't do! Going to have to talk to MyWyf! Haha

 

Interested in seeing how you route the A/C for the Doggo.

 

While I needed something different for AC, this was an early consideration.

Someone was getting the ol' Hawk Tuah! LOLOL!

 

I'm thinking of something like this exactly but a bit more permanent. I'm looking at 3d printing a connection specifically for inside the center console and coming out somewhere. I am in the CAD (Cardboard Aided Design) phase haha

 

80% Offroad bash bar installed.

 

drunk rural country idiot is my guess..

 

I think they actually had an 80% off sale at one point
Principal alone, I can never buy one now

looks real good @2021venture

 

4R dom rock sliders back from powder coat, pickup and bolt on this Sunday

 

Finally got my hands on a Pro exhaust so I can modify the side exit pipe to work on the stock exhaust. Not sure how soon I'll get it done but at least I have it in hand now. Will be doing an oil change, as well as a much needed cleaning inside and out

 

@wax poetic
Zero knowledge on this
But I’ve seen the modified side exhaust or people who cut it short since it was in the way/already bashed up
Any reason to use/start with the pro exhaust VS going to a muffler shop, etc?
Already designed to exit via the side?

 

That sucks.

Looks like someone backed into it, IMO. Was there a driveway across the street? If not, somebody probably decided to turn around right where you were parked and nudged into your front bumper with their rear.

 

I can't speak for everyone, only me. And FWIW I can totally see this as a waste of money as it is mostly for looks and maybe to help a bit with taking fumes in the rear window when it's open and my dog is back there. I believe that last part is debated so I don't know if it's true or not.

For me, I was looking specifically for the rear section of the pro exhaust for the reasons above AND it is the only way to get the black trd tip (although the sombrero is available separately). Is this the most cost effective way to have a side exit ... definitely not. Is it worth it? Most likely not.

I hope this helps.
